Rare Dudebrah Headset Hottie

Welcome to the first in my series of entries I’m calling “Headset Hotties” which examines corporate culture’s fascination with headset-accessoried customer service representatives. This one is a rare screen capture from support.com which features a headset-wearing man-hottie.

Notice the air of sexuality that is suggested, which might be typical in creating the illusion of a friendly, welcoming support staff. That is certainly the case with the female headset hotties I’ve come accross. In reality, the quality of customer service might not make a difference if he is good looking, but going purely on instinct, I want to see a disheveled, overweight man with 20 empty Red Bull cans in the background. I feel like I can trust that guy to help me with my computer.

One phrase stands out here, “experience instant relief,” which also seems strangely sexual. Now the next time I need to experience instant relief all I’m going to be able to think about is some 20-year-old guy with a headset.
